Join climate leaders helping turn agricultural fields into mega-factories of carbon dioxide removal

Why Andes?

Built for Speed and Scale

Unlike heavy industrial solutions, our "factories" are living organisms. By leveraging the existing infrastructure of the global agricultural industry, we can deploy our technology at exceptional speed. Our microbes integrate seamlessly with standard planting practices, allowing us to scale permanent carbon removal alongside food production with no additional land or energy footprint.

1,000+ Year Durability

We don't just store carbon; we mineralize it. Our technology accelerates the natural weathering process, converting atmospheric CO₂ into stable soil inorganic carbon (carbonate minerals). These minerals remain locked in the soil until they are dissolved and transported to rivers and oceans, effectively removing carbon for millennia.

Certification and MRV

Andes is dedicated to transparency and rigorous carbon accounting by partnering with Tier 1 carbon standards and verification bodies. Andes has partnered with Gold Standard to release the world’s first CDR methodology based on microbial carbon dioxide mineralization in agricultural fields. Learn more here.

More Than Just Carbon

Healthy soil is the foundation of our food system. The weathering of natural soil silicates and the mineralization process improve soil structure, enhancing water infiltration and nutrient availability. By participating in our program, farmers not only earn a new stream of revenue, increasing net income by up to 25%, but also build resilience against drought and erosion, securing their land for future generations.

Unmatched Scientific foundation

Andes is committed to scientific rigor and transparency. Our scientific team is actively partnering with external institutions and publishing advancements on every angle of our science. Visit our scientific papers section to learn more.
Andes has a distinguished Scientific Advisory Board composed of leading experts across the fields of environmental microbiology, soil carbon, carbon removals, and agriculture who provide critical advice, perspective, and insight into Andes’ technology
